Discussions between WestJet and its pilots are still ongoing, but job action – including a strike – at the major airline is still on the table.
The Air Line Pilots Association continued talks with the company throughout the weekend. The meetings are expected to continue on Monday.
If that happens Canada's passenger rights rules dictate that airlines must offer to book passengers of cancelled flights on a flight with another airline within at least 48 hours of their departure time.WestJet said on May 8 that it has a plan in place to "minimize what could be significant impacts to guest travel."
Without a contract, ALPA says WestJet pilots are continuing to leave the airline for competitors, putting a continued strain on the aviation industry, which it says is already suffering from a major labour shortage.
